You know what's lame? Techcrunch writing a link-bait article based on one tweet from someone they could easily get in touch with for further explanation and or comment, but instead going ahead with a quick speculative article with no real information besides the tweet itself... THAT's what lame

"There are no hallways in the vertical house, which is connected by a circular stairwell and uses an open plan. On the main floor of the three-level home, a curvilinear glass wall in the dining room looks onto a curvilinear waterfall outside. A kitchen designed for entertaining features a granite center island and CaesarStone quartz counters. A separate butler's pantry and scullery area can serve as work spaces for party preparations. Each of the five bedrooms has its own bathroom. The master suite includes a dressing room and master bath with three shower heads in the shower stall. The lower level features a screening room and a wine lounge with a concrete wall that's radiant-chilled and designed to hold 510 bottles. The swimming pool, spa and backyard are framed by bamboo gardens."

No, I'm not wrong.

You are with, Seven, hehe. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
What, my comment thread not good enough for you? :)
- Glenn Slaven
Glenn, I'm keeping it going there too...and no, I'm not wrong on this.
- Alex Scoble
Memento had a kind of dark ending, and it kicked ass!
- Carlton Hackett
Carlton, true-ish. Excellent movie either way. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Here is the real test. How do you feel about the end of No Country for Old Men?
- Joe Pierce
To be honest I usually agree with you on this point, but I really did prefer Empire
- Glenn Slaven
Memento and Reservoir Dogs are exceptions to the rule. And I have yet to see No Country For Old Men...and if it didn't end well, I now have a reason to avoid it entirely.
- Alex Scoble
OK everyone let's find more exceptions to the rule. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Empire ;p
- Glenn Slaven
No, Empire is not an exception to the rule...it's not even a self contained movie. You can't watch that shit without going straight to Jedi and at least see Han get rescued. Now THAT would be a complete and awesome movie!
- Alex Scoble
Glenn, don't think I've heard of that one.
- Kol Tregaskes
You need to watch all three, none of them work as an independent story, like lord of the rings
- Glenn Slaven
Alex you crack me up, even when you're COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY WRONG! </akiva>
- Jim Will Miss SP
Kol: as in Empire strikes back, see here: http://friendfeed.com/dalziel...
- Glenn Slaven
I disagree, Glenn. Star Wars is entirely self contained.
- Alex Scoble
Back to the Future II has THE best cliffhanger in movie history IMO.
- Carlton Hackett
Ah, Glenn, hehe. Yeah I *think* I've seen that. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Agree Alex, Star Wars is self contained, and that's why it's my favorite.
- Carlton Hackett
Carlton: It was unexpected, but I don't know about the best ever
- Glenn Slaven
Carlton, the ending it certainly in my top 100 list. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Alex: I disagree, that was just a cop-out by Lucas just in case the whole thing flopped, there was heaps more to the story
- Glenn Slaven
Totally agree with the sentiment. I've invested my time - and now all I feel is down and unfulfilled... those movies should come with a warning on the cover: Warning: This Film has a Shit Ending
- Craig Bailey
What about Dark City?
- Glenn Slaven
Alex, all seriousness aside, you've never ever seen a movie with an unhappy ending that you liked? You want the guy to get the girl and Tokyo to be saved every single time? Hated Brazil then?
- Stephen Mack
Hey, back off Toto... I love that little dog :P

- Kol Tregaskes
I've seen maybe 5 movies that didn't end well that I've liked and all would have been better movies with a better ending. Reservoir Dogs, Brazil, Memento, Old Yeller, Where the Red Fern Grows...certainly not Se7en...That's a great 1st and 2nd act with a horrid and extremely intellectually lazy 3rd act.
- Alex Scoble
what's wrong with realistic endings?
- xero
If you aren't making a documentary, realism of ending shouldn't be occurring. If you can't find a good way to end a film, then I strongly suggest that you suck as a director.
- Alex Scoble
That's completely false.
- Admiral Anika
Just because it's happy doesn't make it good
- xero
It doesn't have to end happy... it has to end well. Come to a conclusion or resolution, good or bad.
- Johnny Worthington
I've got to say I usually prefer a 'happy' ending. I don't usually like to come out of a movie depressed
- Glenn Slaven
I'm with Johnny - Please have an ending of some kind - please!
- Brent - Loving Life
You mean like Empire Strikes Back?
- J. Abdul-Qahhar
Empire Strikes Back would be an example of a movie with a poor ending.
- Alex Scoble
Wow; I think you're the first person that has ever agreed with me on that Empire thing.
- J. Abdul-Qahhar
Sorry you are wrong, a movie can have a dark ending even a cliff hanger and if done correctly can be a great movie. I like movies that when they end, everyone sits there in silence for a moment.
- Kim Landwehr
I dunno if that's true, if that spielberg movie with the robot kid had ended when he hit the ocean floor for example, it would have been better, and had a dark ending that was somewhat mysterious/cliffhangery

But you need to know that Bride Wars is on DVD, James! Think of the children! When I bought my printer, they stuck a stack of advertisements for their other services before I could get to the driver cd: bundling ads is common, but I wonder how much it really subsidizes the price. But remember VHS? There was no menu button. The horror!
- Mark Trapp
Ian, in some cases, yes, you HAVE to watch the trailers. HBO does this a lot. Most of the time you can just skip them and occasionally you're able to just hit the menu button and bypass them altogether. As an avid DVD watcher, this is a MAJOR pet peeve.

I think so too. It's almost most SEO companies are still stuck in 2005 with link building and such when it's all about community now. And, it's kinda hard to outsource an entire presence creation on line. I see a ton of opportunity for companies who have well-trained staff that TRULY understand Twitter, Facebook and FriendFeed. Yelp is another one that will grow substantially over the next couple of years for local business.
